- At a certain elevation, the pilot of a balloon has a mass of 125 lb and a weight of 119 lbf. What is the local acceleration of gravity, in ft/s2, at that elevation? If the balloon drifts to another elevation where g = 32.05 ft/s2, what is her weight, in lbf, and mass, in lb?arrow_forwardThe gravitational acceleration on Mars is 3.72 m/s2. The density of water is 1000 kg/m3. Starting from these assumptions, estimate the specific weight of water on Mars in lbf/ft3. Note that when converting lbm (pounds mass) to lbf (pounds force), a unit conversion called gc is required (1 lbf = 32.2 lbm ft s-2). The conversion factor ensures that (under normal gravity), a 100 lbm load generates 100 lbf of gravitational forcearrow_forwardThe Body Mass Index (BMI) is a number that is often used to determine if an individual is a healthy weight. The function for finding an individual's BMI is: 720w f(w, h) = which could also be written as f(w,h) = (720w) ÷ h? h2 where w = weight in pounds and h = height in inches. Use the BMI function to find the BMI for individuals with the following weights and heights: Round your answers to the nearest tenth. weight = 106 pounds and height = 57 inches 22.90 weight = 200 pounds and height = 68 inches 30.40 weight = 219 pounds and height = 78 inches Number weight = 210 pounds and height = 76 inches Numberarrow_forward
